1Okay everyone, don't get too mad at me, but I'm going to really try to get through this next chapter, trying to summarize everything that happens so I can finally write what I've been waiting for. I'm sorry if I forget something, but you've played the game before so why get into detail, right? Well, anywho I wish to thank, once again, everyone who reads this story. Also, a very special thank you to everyone who reviews, I really can't say thank you enough. I'm glad to see that you enjoy reading it probably as much as I enjoy writing it. Well, on with the story.

Chapter 17: The Transition Chapter

The past few days had been very eventful for Storm and the rest of the party. Storm had to deal with Yggdrassil, Zelos, and the party. After getting to Sybak the team found out about Presea's Cruxis Crystal and decided to head to Ozette to find the dwarf, Altessa. They had made their way to Gonarrachia Forest and were led off course by a group of Papal Knights and the prisoner they met in the Meltokio sewers. Once they defeated the prisoner, they took him back with them. The group eventually took refuge in Sheena's home, Mizuho. It was in Mizuho where Storm really learned a lot about Lloyd's intentions. She could still remember what he had said...

"I can't be Mithos. I wanna save the worlds my way, with my friends. I believe that there is a way that we can save both worlds. There should be no more sacrifices," Lloyd had said.

Could he be right? Could there be a way to save both worlds? Maybe he's right, maybe there's a way to save everyone. A world where there are no sacrifices. But could that world exist? Storm thought.

It had been these words that helped Tiga, temporary chief of Mizuho, to decide to help Lloyd's group save the worlds. They promised to do everything in their power to help the group find the Rheiards. Once the group gathered outside they decided to head to Ozette, with their new companion, Regal, the prisoner they defeated in the forest. He seemed interested in Presea and Zelos had told the group that they could trust him, at least for the time being. With that the group headed off to Ozette.

Once the reached Ozette, the group followed Presea who ran to what appeared to be her house. Inside was a horrible scene, a man was on the bed deceased and decaying. The room reeked of blood and death and Presea didn't even seem to notice. The group was unable to move Presea from her house and so they decided to head to Altessa's house without her. They hoped that with Altessa's house they would be able to recover Presea's memories and emotions, bringing her out of her daze.

Once the group arrived at Altessa's house Storm left the group.

"Where are you going?" Lloys asked as she stopped near the dwarf's house.

"I'm going back with Presea, I can't leave her alone in that house. I'd feel horrible," she replied.

"Okay, if you say so. We'll be back in a while," Lloyd replied as he followed the others inside the house.

Altessa would definitely know me. I was the one who helped Yggdrassil with that Tabatha doll, there's too much of a risk going in there. Altessa would probably unintentionally blow my cover. It's better to just stay in Ozette.

Later that night Storm was outside of Ozette waiting for a report from Lord Yggdrassil. Finally, the call came through and she turned on her projector and waited for her instructions.

"Storm, the time has come, Lloyd's group is at the Toize Valley Mine and they'll be coming out soon. I've sent Zelos a message and he knows what to do. You must try and retrieve the Chosen, by force if neccessary. Don't strain yourself too much though, I can't stand to lose you yet, I'll need you later. If things get rough, leave the Chosen, she'll come right to us soon anyway. Try not to feel bad if you kill one of them, if I were you I'd actually aim for Lloyd," Yggdrassil said.

"If it is what you wish my lord. It will be done," she replied as she turned off her projector and drew her wings to fly to the mine.

I knew that this was going to happen eventually, I just didn't want it to happen. I was really enjoying my time on this trip. Things will never be the same, I can't act the same anymore. My life will go back to the way that it was before. And that may be best for me anyway. I don't know if I can kill them though. They're almost like family...Lloyd...

Storm flew closer to her destination not knowing what would happen once she revealed her true identity to the group, and to Lloyd.

Well, sorry if it was short but I wanted to get it done and I wanted to get to the next part really bad, sorry if you didn't like this chapter but I promise the next one will make up for it. I really will try better. So next up, the moment you've all been so impatient for...Storm reveals herself as an angel of Cruxis. How will Lloyd and the others react and will there be a fight? If so, how will it turn out? What will happen when Storm returns to Derris-Kharlan? Will she return to her emotionless self? I guess you'll all have to wait and find out the answers to all these questions. Read and Review!
